There are many strange things in the world, after all, there is such a famous saying that no coincidence is not a book, but Ling Yan does not believe that there is such a coincidence in the world.
Ling Yan remembered that when he had just returned to Beijing from Yudu County, a degraded place, he had a strange feeling when he entered the capital, he always felt that there were people watching him, and this feeling like others sleeping next to the couch made him a little uncomfortable, but Ling Yan always thought that this was because he was not used to returning to Beijing.
After all, he was a waste prince who had just been degraded, and he was able to re-enter Beijing because of the emperor's grace, not to mention that when he was still in the capital, he was not very concerned, how could he be monitored as soon as he came back, now I know that it is not like this, it is indeed someone who is watching, and the person who is monitoring is actually the Qin family.
Over the years, the patrol and garrison in the capital are in charge of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses, after the rebellion of King Yun, when today's son attaches great importance to the safety of the capital, not only the palace guards have been greatly strengthened, but also the majestic capital of the capital has also sent many additional guards.
Not to mention the 3,000 guards stationed in the big barn dozens of miles away from the capital, the soldiers and horses of the nine cities in the capital have increased from the original 2,000 men and horses to tens of thousands today.
The Nine Cities Terracotta Division has two palace guards on the left and right, and the two palace guards are using the green mud official seal of the five products, wearing lilac yellow croaker suits, and the two of them are holding the 10,000 horses of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division guarding Kyoto, and such an important official position has always been held by the emperor's relatives, except for Ling Yuanshan, the king of the town world, who temporarily led the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses, this rule has not been changed.
But this time, Ling Yan looked through the affairs of the four divisions in recent times, but was surprised to find that now the left palace guard of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division has actually changed, and the two palace guards around the past few years are all members of the royal family, which is also to give this stick some ways to be related to the Son of Heaven's family.
Otherwise, with the current situation of the imperial court, although the royal family is majestic and grand, there are only a few people, most of the people in the royal family are just living in a muddy way, not to mention the hundred officials in the capital, most of the people look down on those gangs, but they rely on this royal surname on their heads - Zhao Zi is a "royal relative" who eats and waits for death.
And the position of the palace guard of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is occupied by the royal family, but now the position of the left palace guard, which is larger than the two palace guards, is occupied by a person of the opposite sex.
"Qin Zhanxiang, this person has always been inconspicuous in the Qin family, but at this time, he suddenly took over Zhao Ling's position as the left palace guard.
Fu Gui, I remember that Qin Zhanxiang seemed to have served in the Terracotta Division before. ” Fu Gui nodded and said: "My lord has a good memory, Qin Zhanxiang has been doing things in the Soldiers and Horses Division all these years, but he doesn't have any position, just being a nobody.
To be precise, Qin Zhanxiang's surname Qin was enough for him to be promoted in the Soldiers and Horses Division, but he didn't, but he made up for it directly after the old palace guard retreated. ” "In addition, the adults didn't know in the Southwest Road during this time, and now His Majesty seems to have the intention to let the position of the Zuo Gong Shou let the Zhao family give up some time ago, so there are many people in the capital who look at the position of the palace guard, at least the subordinates know that Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War are secretly wrestling with each other to fight for this Zuo Gongshou that His Majesty intends to vacate for everyone to compete for."
Ling Yan frowned, and his back slowly joined tightly with the chair, "It is understandable that Yang Sihai plans to install people into the Nine Cities Terracotta Division, after all, he is in charge of the Criminal Department, and naturally knows that the ten thousand horses of the Terracotta Division are a very eye-catching force, but what is Wang Youlin robbing?"
He works in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites has always been an idle yamen, so what is the role of him even if he fights?
It's better to let go directly and sell a face to Yang Sihai. ” "And why did Your Majesty suddenly start to reduce the power of the clan, could it be that Your Majesty is planning to move the things of the old magnates?"
Ling Yan was suddenly shocked, Teng stood up from his chair, if His Majesty really wanted to do something to the old magnates, then Xie Huahua's Guogong Mansion would definitely bear the brunt.
Since the first emperor, the imperial court has been constantly reducing the power of the imperial family, and until this His Majesty, there has been no such movement, and now it is going to suddenly rise again?
"My lord, it shouldn't be this possibility.
Your Majesty will not be such a king who can't accommodate people, the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, let alone a king who rules the country.
This time, he gave up the position of Zuogong Shou, and in the humble opinion of his subordinates, it was just because he wanted to let the people below slowly open their appearance. ” "In the face of such delicious things, naturally everyone is unwilling to let them miss it in vain, so they are all riveting their strength to fight for bites, and Your Majesty hopes that such a situation will occur, because Your Majesty wants to see if the courtiers below have changed over the years."
"Well, there is some truth in what you said, it's that I think too much.
But can His Majesty really see anything this time?
The Qin family has always been in a state of intemperance in the court over the years, although Qin Wu has always occupied the Privy Council, but the Qin family has no more capable figures except for Qin Wu and Qin Fei. ” "A Privy Council dean, a Sanpin Tai Academy martial arts teacher, if it is changed to other sects, it can already be regarded as a glorious ancestor, but for a family like the Qin family that started from Liangzhou, it is not enough."
"Now it seems that Qin Zhanxiang is Qin Wu's backhand, and he has been letting the descendants of the Qin family Taoguang raise his eyes all these years, maybe he is waiting for today, waiting for His Majesty to make up some very popular positions."
Many people's eating appearance is ugly, just like eating a banquet, some people are like evil ghosts reincarnated in the food just after the food is served, and they don't care about the eyes of others, let alone look at the face of the host's family, and such people are the most annoying.
On the contrary, it is the kind of person who makes a fortune in a muffled voice, and now the Qin family is like this, according to the information collected by the four divisions during this period of time, the Qin family has more than a dozen clansmen who occupy at least six-rank official positions in just one month, and each official position is not the kind of official whose name is greater than power, but the kind of real power position, this is also Qin Wu, otherwise who can eat so many things in one go.
It's just that now that the Qin family's forces are showing signs of being big, he Ling Yan is not very happy.
Because since the information found by Shuifang, it is very likely that there were Qin Wu's men and horses among the rebels who participated in the siege of the palace back then, and after that, Ling Yan also planned to show mercy to the Qin family if he could move, but now the palace could not move the foundation of the Qin family, so Ling Yan did not have any movement, but he was not willing to watch the Qin family slowly grow.
What's more, Ling Yan recalled that the illusion of being watched during that time was indeed true, and the person who did this was the Qin family, and more importantly, under Ling Yan's secret investigation, the person in charge of this matter of the Qin family was Qin Zhanxiang, who was unknown in the Terracotta Division in the early years and then became hot today.
This Qin Zhanxiang is only seven out of twenty this year, but he is already sitting in the position of the left palace guard who is responsible for the safety of Kyoto, and he can indirectly mobilize nearly 10,000 people in his hands.
Fu Gui took the tea from his subordinates and handed it over, and only after Ling Yan took it did he say, "By the way, my lord, the chief secretary asked his subordinates to mention a word to you when the adults came to the department, so that you can be mentally prepared."
Ling Yan took a sip of hot tea, full of fragrance, this tea is the freshest tea leaves in Yangchun March in Jiangnan, just picked and sent to the capital non-stop, the four divisions only have a few taels, so it is extremely precious, usually Fu Gui can't afford to drink, that is, knowing that Ling Yan came back this time, so the people below Jiangnan Province specially picked it and sent it.
Hearing that Hong Luoyu had something to say to himself, Ling Yan became interested and asked, "What did the chief say?"
Fu Gui deliberately sold a pass, went to pull a chair and sat closer, and looked left and right to confirm that there was no one before he spoke: "The chief of the department plans to advise His Majesty to let His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince be the position of the right palace guard, and he also plans to increase the strength of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses, 16,000, and the extra 6,000 people can be selected by the Six Princes at will."
"What?"
Ling Yan was really surprised, so much so that the tea he drank just now squirted out before he could swallow it, but Fu Gui was sitting in front of his face, so this tea sprayed Fu Gui's face, and a few pieces of tea were still sticking to Fu Gui's cheeks.
"My lord, you have to pay attention to your imagination, but now our four divisions are also regarded as the well-known yamen in the capital, so if you don't pay attention to it, you should be careful to make people laugh."
"Fu Gui, Fu Gui, you are really getting better at talking."
Ling Yan first pointed at Fu Gui, and then was suddenly amused by the shaking posture of the crumbling tea leaves hanging on Fu Gui's eyebrows, and the shaking tea leaves were like shaking rays emitting from the sun.
It's just that behind the laughter, Ling Yan felt that there was a cold feeling like a cold winter moon behind him, and let Zhao Xuanhan be the right palace guard, and even choose 6,000 people freely, isn't this a clear statement that he wants to hand over all the 10,000 people of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to Zhao Xuanhan, and then give him another 6,000 soldiers.
If Hong Luoyu really did this, what would he think if he was an official in the world, but a hundred officials in the DPRK and China?
Giving so much help to the six princes, could it be that Hong Luoyu, the chief director of the Heavenly Supervision Division, intended to let the sixth prince, the youngest of the several princes, be the next prince?
Or does the Grand Secretary think that Zhao Xuanhan is qualified to succeed His Majesty as the next king?
Now the position of the prince is clear to everyone in the court, only between the three princes, the four princes, the six princes, and the three princes, as for the former crown prince, the current second prince is still in the prison of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if Zhao Xuanyi returns to the empire one day, he should no longer be qualified to be the crown prince, because the king of the Taizheng Empire cannot have been captured and imprisoned.
Among the three princes, the third prince Zhao Xuanping is now the most vocal, and most officials in the court support the three princes, and it is still unknown how many people support the four princes' faction, because there are too many unclear relationships.

The other six princes, Zhao Xuanhan, because he had been sharpened in the border army in the north for a period of time, so the Privy Council and the Ministry of War vaguely agreed that this sixth prince who had been in the army since he was a child should be the next emperor, but the Privy Council did not express his position because Qin Wu was above, so everyone below did not dare to express his position indiscriminately.
So now looking at Zhao Xuanping's advantage, but if Hong Luoyu of the Heavenly Supervision Division plans to support Zhao Xuanhan to do that position, there will be no more controversy about this situation, and that position must be done by Zhao Xuanhan.
None of the hundreds of officials in the court are fuel-efficient lamps, all of them have read countless sage books, and have gone through many ups and downs to reach this point today, but even the scholars of the criminal department such as Yang Sihai dare not speak loudly in front of the old ancestor of the Heavenly Division, and there are only two or three people among the courtiers who can speak with the one standing on the waist pole, and these few can only speak.
Now there is a joke circulating in the capital, saying that once Qin Wu, the president of the Privy Council, who was also a member of the super first grade, saw Hong Luoyu, the chief of the Heavenly Division, take the initiative to step forward to say hello, but Hong Luoyu at that time directly passed him and walked directly, and then spoke to the bachelor who was known as the imperial court, and then stretched out Dean Qin, who was half of his hand, very embarrassed, and then heard that Dean Qin just smiled bitterly.
So everyone knows that in terms of authority, no one in the current dynasty can compare with Hong Luoyu, not even Qin Wu, the Privy Council, who is in charge of more than half of the army's armor.
People know that Hong Luoyu is terrible not only because of the omniscient and pervasive prison priest, but also because of the ghost camp that does not kill people invisibly, but his relationship with His Majesty Taisho today.
With such a harmonious relationship between monarchs and ministers, officials of all dynasties should not believe that there would be such a relationship between the Son of Heaven and his courtiers.
Therefore, if Hong Luoyu supports Zhao Xuanhan, then His Majesty will really consider Hong Luoyu's words, and Ling Yan also knows it, but it is precisely because of this that he is afraid.
Because at this time, Hong Luoyu said this to completely cut off the illusion of the other two princes, everyone in this world wants, and now the world is surnamed Zhao, the family is the world, so the next world has no accidents and has to be surnamed Zhao, but it is unknown which surname Zhao will be the emperor next, many times the unknown is that there is still hope, and if there is hope, he will do things according to the rules.
What Ling Yan was afraid of was that if there was another earth-shattering rebellion such as King Yun's, how would the imperial court respond?
Of course, Ling Yan never thought that there would be anyone in the current empire who would have the strength to rebel, because the current majesty had an unimaginable grasp of the rivers and mountains, and even the most barren southwest province knew that the emperor's grace was vast.
However, the empire is now suffering from serious external troubles, and if internal worries erupt, can it still have the extra strength to resist external troubles?
What's more, behind Zhao Xuanping is standing faintly the figure of Wu Gui, the king of Pingnan, this king with a different surname has 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, if this person is also said to be moved, then more than a quarter of the empire's territory south of Cangzhou will fall into great turmoil.
"What are you thinking, Grand Director?"
Ling Yan really couldn't understand what these people were thinking.
As soon as he returned to the Fourth Division, he immediately went out, because there were still things to do outside, and he planned to personally meet the Qin Gongshou who had been proud of the spring breeze recently, although he no longer had a good impression of the Qin family, so it would not affect him to meet personally.
